“Ashley and Bob were great with my 10 year old, nervous & quirky pup! They stayed at the house with her for 3 days and 3 nights and during that time, sent frequent updates and pictures. I was so grateful for their communication and care of my dog.”
“Danielle was nice enough to take on watching my dog and cat only a few days before I left and she was amazing! The animals instantly liked her upon meeting and she kept me updated with texts and the cutest photos of my pets while I was away. She treated them very well and I was worry-free. I will definitely ask Danielle to watch my pets again!”
“Kenda is a wonderful at this job. She really went the extra mile to become friends with my dog, not just the person that shows up to complete the task. This was especially important because I have an anxious and reactive rescue dog that takes some coaxing in order to trust people. Highly recommended and definitely my go-to dog walker going forward.”
About: I’m a good dog walker and can play with them and feed them too. I’ll make sure they are treated right and feel safe around me. I’m around and free whenever possible to take care for pets for friends and family if they need it. I treat them as family and make sure they have fun too I will make sure they are on a leash when we go for walks outside of the house. Won’t leave doors open and make sure to car them if needed too.
“Trista stayed overnight with our fur babies. She was so good with our 3 dogs. She put our mind at ease. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day. The pups were happy too :) Will definitely book again.”
“Dickens obviously had a great time while we were away. He really bonded with Sofia and watched sadly as she drove away. The house was left just as it was when they arrived, all I had to do was wash the sheets and towels, which was a pretty good deal. I will definitely book Sofia again.”
About: I not only love caring for animals, but learning all their quirks and personalities. I am very familiar with the patience and love it takes to care for seniors, and the space many animals want from humans (especially new ones). I am happy to meet them where they’re at and hopefully brighten up their day! I have lots of experience with giving pills, special diets, etc. as well. I learn fast and take animal care very seriously. I’m currently working part time and studying to apply for grad school, so I have plenty of time! I often am doing one of my many hobbies or spending time with loved ones, which can easily be shared with your little loves too. At home, I am vigilant about dangers for my cat when I am not around and triple check to make sure she is safe and she can’t get into anything. My main priorities are to make sure she is healthy, happy, and enriched!
“Brenna was an amazing pet sitter for us. We have two dogs, both seniors, and one with significant health issues. It is always hard to leave him but had our son's wedding in Canada to attend. Brenna sent constant updates and photos to ease our mind while away. They were very well cared for and loved. I would use Brenna again in a heart beat!”

“Shane was so great with our two dogs. One needed his medication with his food and Shane followed through perfectly. He gave them plenty of walks and lots of attention! He sent us pictures and kept us in the loop while we were away. It was our first experience with rover and it was excellent!”
About: As a college student who grew up with five dogs, I’ve always had a deep love for animals. I understand the importance of making sure your furry (or hairless) family member feels safe and happy while you’re away. With my background in dog behavior and safety, including handling aggression and territorial issues, you can trust that your pup will be in caring and capable hands. I’ve also worked in a doggy daycare, managing groups of 50-60 dogs, so I know how to keep things calm and fun! Whether it’s a peaceful walk along the best local trails or lots of cozy care, I’ll treat your dog like my own, always. Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities and I look forward to meeting them!! 💅🐾💗 My flexible schedule allows me to offer plenty of availability for walks and sitting. On Mondays and Wednesdays, and Fridays I’m available early mornings, afternoons, and evenings. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m available before 10:30 a.m. and after 2:15 p.m. On the weekends, I’m fully available for walks, sitting, or even adventure hikes, whenever!! No matter the time, your pup will have my full attention and care. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for your dog(s) while at your home. I create a calm, secure space tailored to your dog’s unique needs. I’m highly attuned to their behavior, recognizing signs of stress or discomfort, and always respond with care. At your home, I follow your routine to keep things familiar for your pup, providing consistent care and attention. With my background in dog safety and behavior, including experience from small elderly dogs to large groups, you can trust that they will be okay in a variety of situations :)
“You could not find more thoughtful and caring people to genuinely love your pet than Kelly and Nabil. They prioritized Elmer’s health and happiness to the highest degree and made sure we received videos and photos every day. We feel very lucky to have them in Elmer’s life.”

About: I am a dependable, patient, and caring animal lover with many years of personal experience caring for dogs. I previously cared for my own Rottweiler for nine years, so I am comfortable with large breeds as well as smaller pets. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine. I will follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet with the same love, attention, and respect I would give my own. Pet care fits well into my routine. I carefully schedule each booking around my work hours so I can provide dependable, unhurried care. I will keep my availability updated and communicate clearly with every pet owner. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs, walks, and house rules. I keep doors and gates secure, supervise pets carefully, maintain a clean environment, and provide regular photo updates.
“Christine is a down-to-earth person who is easy to talk with and pays attention to important details. At our meet & greet, she asked good questions that reflected her experience and commitment to making both pets and their owners feel comfortable with her. My young adult cat Suki had never been left alone with someone she didn’t already know. In my absence, however, Christine eased her way into Suki’s territory by setting the right balance between showing her some quiet attention and giving her the time and space she needed to adjust and come out of her shell. The photos Christine sent me proved that once she had won Suki over, the little kitty was her sweet, affectionate self and the two of them had a delightful time together! I will be asking Christine to Suki-sit in my house again!”
“Patricia was amazing. Our newly adopted doghas separation anxiety and continued to give her a run for her money the whole first part of the second day. She was patient with Lucy and in the end we were so happy to be able to complete our vacation without worries. We will definitely have her back”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 526 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Chatham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred North Chatham walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in North Chatham maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Chatham choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
